Brush: Omega 11047 Mixed Midget
Soap: Rasozero Agrumella
Razor: Wolfman WR2-SB 1.25 head on a "world's finest" handle
Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (24)
ASL: Rasozero Agrumella with added menthol

A good shave.

I'm acclimatizing to my new super duper Wolfman (2nd shave in). It's totally different to any other DE razor I've used. The first thing I noticed was that it seems to make the blade sharper... which can only be a good thing.

The rest of my (definitely "budget" by comparison) kit did an excellent job too, but I didn't expect anything less.


Happy shaves guys.

Brush Yaqi 26mm Mysterious Space Tuxedo
Razor Fatip OC Slant on Yaqi Handle
Blade KAI 3rd (Mysterious KAI Blades PIF Participation)
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Gatsby Splash
Excellent soap! Nice leathery tobacco scent and creamy slick lather! Love this (5.5/10 strength) masculine scent!
FOCS razor on the Yaqi handle feels better and paired with the blade gives a fantastic shave!! Crisply smooth and so comfortable for 3passes for a mostly bbs result. Good blade + good razor = Great combo!

Pre:-
Razor: Gillette Old Type on Razorock Ufo
Blade: Astra SS 1st use
Brush: Semogue 610 Boar
Soap: SMdF
Post: generic Witch Hazel, SMdF splash
Result: DFS

A lazy and relaxed shave. I'm looking forward to use this soap in summer to fully enjoy the menthol and eukalyptus blast.
Even though the first signs of spring are starting to show it still feels very much like grey wintertime to me.
